What is the purpose of life, ultimately? Surely there is a reason for existence?

and we get what we think/feel/believe then how come someone hasn't come and taken care of my teeth/gums that hurt and look bad, as I can't afford a dentist and I really think/feel/believe that someone should take care of my ailing teeth and gums, but it isn't happening. So, where is the LOA in that???!!!

I have to introduce this topic for my ethics class and I need the most logical and least emotive responses (base your responses on clear logic and not faith alone).

I asked this question before but I want more answers. I do want a nice comfortable life but I am just not all that motivated by money. How do I get that murderous "I would kill my mother for money" attitude?

Back in the Renaissance, people whose studies had taken them to the highest level (PhD level now) were called "Doctors," whether it be a doctor of medicine, doctor of law, doctor of philosophy, etc. During the Victorian era, people with the same level of education were called "Philosophers," ie, philosopher of chemistry, philosopher of biology, philosopher of classics. How did it work out that now when someone says doctor, they immediately think "doctor of medicine," and when someone hears "philosopher," they immediately think just that- a philosopher such as Socrates? Is it just the normal evolution of language? Did most people just tend to have more contacts with doctors of medicine than any others, and just automatically associated "doctor" with someone who treats illnesses and wounds? How did anyone who went the whole nine yards become known as PhDs (doctorate of philosophy), regardless of their area of expertise?

If you had the opportunity to go into a pleasure/experience machine that gave you everything in your life that you desired simple by plugging your brain into a machine would you do it? You can program the machine to give you all the things in life that you want, and you will never ever know that you are plugged in. It will feel as if you are really truly living your life. But, you are guaranteed to get everything that you want (if you want to write a novel, you can do it and succeed, or be a doctor, or a black belt martial artist, be married, have children etc). The catch is that you will never come out of it, and live that way forever. You will never know you are plugged in once you are, but you still will be. But you are guaranteed to have a fabulous life. Would you do it?

Can Philosophy be regarded as science, since both fields are really broad.

I asked question earlier titled "Do you think it is naive to say that the worth of human life is the use of energy by other beings to maintain it?" And people's answers were saying things that undermined energy, when in our lives and actually in all biological and other scientifical studies, energy is a key factor. I dont understand and if I have confused you I apologize. Thank you.

it is my understanding that phenomenology called into question the validity of the traditional distinction between subject (observer) and object (observed).

was this question ever answered, or was it simply disregarded?

-or am i mistaken in my understanding of the question it raised...
